21 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Encinitas

“An excellent place for a first date. It’s quiet enough to talk, yet not so quiet that it feels awkward. The lighting is soft and romantic, and the drink selection is fantastic — especially if you’re into wines or classy cocktails. I appreciated the attention to detail: the garnishes were fresh, glassware elegant, and even the water was served with a cucumber slice. That’s how you know they care about presentation. We stayed for almost three hours, just talking and sipping. Will definitely come back.“

“Amazing experience! Such a cool fun vibe with a live band on Thursdays and beautiful ambiance, especially at night! We got the lobster bao buns, the noodles, tuna sashimi, and cucumber salad. all INCREDIBLE! service was also perfect with everything coming out very fast. Drinks also were great- highly recommend the pina colada styled drink! Will be back for sure!“

“Casual gem with amazing food, lots of options and reasonably priced!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options and diverse vegetables

Parking: As with any main location, peak times would be more challenging, we got there 5:30 and found a spot 2 blocks away“

“Love this place and the food is all good 😘“

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“Me encanta el sushi y tienes muchas opciones!“

“Absolutely outstanding - best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. Noodles had that elusive awesome wok hay flavor (I know that’s a Chinese concept but not sure how to describe the Thai equivalent). Our server was super friendly and efficient- food came out lightning fast. We ordered the fried eggplant, the basil stir fry with beef, and the Chow Fun with tofu. Only wish we had more people in our party so we could try more things.“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

“I got the strips and radish as the side. Order half spicy half garlic. OMG it was tasty 👅 AF. The price was a bargain compared to the quality and quantity of food I got. The hostess was 🔥🔥🤘. Great customer service.“

“Don’t let the shack vibe fool you, this spot surprised me. The Vietnamese lettuce cups were fresh, crunchy, and perfect for a summer day (loved the pickled veggies, though I’d skip the peanuts next time). My wife’s bulgogi with rice was a little sweet but packed with flavor. Great beachside find, I’d definitely stop here again on the way to Solana Beach.“

“Poki Poki is always the �“

“This place is amazing. So yummy and the owners and staff are so kind and always attentive and the food is fresh.“

“Excellent Customer Service & Professional Resolution

I originally posted a review regarding what I believed to be a billing error at Chin’s Carlsbad. However, after speaking directly with a representative, Howard, I want to commend their professionalism and quick response in addressing my concerns.

Howard took the time to go over my receipt in detail, and we discovered that the Point-of-Sale system deducts a portion of sales tax from gift certificates, which initially caused some confusion. After reviewing the proper sales tax calculations, it became clear that my bill was actually correct. In retrospect, I was mistaken, not the restaurant.

I truly appreciate Howard's courteous and professional approach in resolving this issue. It’s a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Chin’s has always been a family favorite, and I’m happy to say that their integrity and service remain top-notch.“

“Small charming place. The sushi rolls were creative, tasted great, and very reasonably priced. I was full from one roll even though it would usually take one and a half rolls at other places. Best local Del Sur/Carmel Valley place I know of so far.“

“Absolutely Splendid! Stopped in for a small bite, and for $18 got enough to feed two people and then some. Nice staff, fast service, and well kept building.

Most definitely coming back here next time, particularly if I want cheap drinks - didn’t get them this time, but decent menu prices, much better than I would expect

Parking: Decent spots, but rapidly fill up - would recommend parking in the free lot by Le Papagayo or the Blue water grill and walking

Wheelchair accessibility: Readily available“
